25. Online learning’s good. It
creates flexibility which some
students need to have because
everyone has different lives and
constraints
26. I really enjoyed access to the
lecture videos, it meant you got the
same quality of explanation if you
couldn't attend a lecture due to
illness etc. and if you didn't
understand something in a lecture
you could re-experience it without
needing to ask the lecturer,
excellent!!
27. I make a lot of use of the online
resources, so it definitely works for
me, although I do think that having
lectures is also essential as long as
there is extra explanation and
discussion on the topic, but
unfortunately some lecturers mainly
read the power point slides which we
could easily do on our own.
